Definitely gotta do more Vsauce, his videos are amazing
Agreed!
Literally searched for vsauce reaction on her channel, it's a great reaction series❤
Walter Summerford isn't even the man who got struck by lightning the most times. That title goes to Cleveland Sullivan, who got struck 7 times. Poor guy survived all of them, only to end his own life at the age of 70 I think. Also loved the reaction, big Vsauce fan. My favorite videos from his channel are why are things creepy? & mistakes. I highly recommend...
there was no proof of cleveland sullivan's story though
I like how you start off most your videos with a smile that and you brought back some nostalgia, I used to watch this dude all the time.
Love your Vsauce reactions, hope you continue to do more🔥
Debunking the Neil Armstrong line: Someone tells you what you will hear when the message is run backwards. That idea ("man will spacewalk"), or that sound, has just been planted in your mind. Naturally, when the message is run backwards, you hear exactly what you were prompted to hear.
Same thing when people claim there are Satanic messages if you play “Stairway to Heaven”in reverse
I picked out some of the many coincidences from a longer list comparing Dark Side of the Moon-Wizard of Oz:
The album cover shows white becoming color. Side One of the album (vinyl) is exactly as long as the black and white portion of the film.
The film switches to color for the second side.
Songs -
ON THE RUN
2. Dorothy starts singing "Over the Rainbow" which has the same initials (OTR) as "On the Run".
TIME
1. Miss Gulch arrives on her bike right as the chimes/bells begin.
2. "Waiting for someone or something to show you the way"- Toto escapes basket; Toto jumps through window to show Dorothy the way.
5. The song is about time... The sign on Professor Marvel's trailer says "Past, Present, and Future".
GREAT GIG IN THE SKY
1. "I am not frightened of dying, etc..."- Tornado appears; they could possibly die.
2. The song intensifies as the storm picks up.
3. Drums come in the second the wind starts picking up.
6. The song de-intensifies when Dorothy his hit by the window and goes into a dream.
MONEY
4. "Don't give me that do goody-good….."- Enter the Good Witch.
5. "I'm in the hi-fidelity, first-class traveling set, and I think I need a Lear jet"- Glinda arrives in her bubble. First-class traveling for witches, perhaps?
US AND THEM
2. " 5. "Black, black, black, and blue, blue, blue"- Wicked Witch of the West enters dressed in black; camera cuts over to Dorothy, who is wearing blue.
6. "And who knows which is which and who is who"- The witches confront each other. Notice the pun with "which is which" sounding like "witch is witch".
11. "Down, down, down, and out, out, out"- Glinda exists in her bubble, down and out.
14. Song ends, Dorothy waves good-bye.
BRAIN DAMAGE
1. Song is "BRAIN Damage"... Scarecrow sings "If I only had a BRAIN".
2. "The lunatic is on the grass"- Dorothy and Scarecrow on the grass.
3. "Got to keep the loonies on the path"- Dorothy and Scarecrow on the Yellow Brick Road.
ECLIPSE
2. The heartbeat at the end of the album coincides with Dorothy listening for Tinman's heartbeat.
One weird thing with music that I’ve always encountered is that once I’ve heard a song so many times, after a while, it begins to feel like every new time I hear the song, it feels like the tempo is sped up. It happens with every single song I listen to frequently. Once I get used to the lyrics, the tempo, the instrumentals, and the cadence, all of a sudden the song sounds like someone changed the playback speed. Does that happen to anyone else?
I have this feeling with anything that I do repeatedly. I remember when I was still in high school that when a school year started the day seemed endless but once I got to the second semester the entire week seemed to disappear. This is also seen in life as well, most people would say life feels like it gets faster as you get older. I think it's because you get used to your routine so most days fly past since you don't expect or experience anything new.
That's normal. Our perception of time is created in our minds, and can speed up or slow down based on certain factors.
I defineitly felt this with Pink Floyd’s The wall. The beginning song feels slower in my mind, and when I play it it feels too fast.
I've said this before and I'll say it again... I love this woman and always look forward to her content. Things are getting worse in many ways and Idiocracy lives strong unfortunately. With all the hell happening I've got to say for some reason watching her content calms me and helps me just forget the day and just relax. There really aren't many like her seriously. Anyway I hope you're well and the political evils among us being both sides are basically a brush off your shoulder. You're definitely that type to do you and not let others control your feelings. I absolutely get that from her. Intelligence is a life saver. She's got plenty to lend out and just let us relax once in awhile. I have to cheers because I love this woman 🥂
Just found your channel, subscribing for more Vsauce reactions! There's so many great videos of his, especially his older ones
Dark side of the moon synched up with Mall Cop 2 is a sureal experience with scenes perfectly matching the songs in the album.
Wish you were here being better than Dark side of the Moon, not just you!! Just found your videos and vsauce reactions, really love your style and openness to learning, you are obviously very well learned, but, know that there is so much more to learn everyday, a trait many seem to have forgotten, sub'd and belled to your channel, looking forward to reviewing your thoughts on space and time and what new stuff you produce!!
love this channel please keep posting
Michael Chrightons Jurassic Park novel talks throughout the book that coincidence is simply mathamaticly inevitable.
Agree with you about "Wish you were here"💯❤🔥
9:50 'Curious who figured that out, a savant maybe?' (in regards to Dark Side of Oz)
Weed, pretty sure weed was involved. Maybe acid, probably weed.
Also, to quote Sir Terry Pratchett: "Million to one chances happen nine times out of ten."
Love Vsauce! The word you were looking for is anagram, which is when a word or phrase is formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase, typically using all the original letters exactly once. For example, the word anagram itself can be rearranged into nag a ram, as well as the word binary into brainy and the word adobe into abode. :)
Ayy, now I have a good video to listen to, while I'm drawing.🤙🏻
Makes sense that the reverse talking reminds you of the Red Room of Twin Peaks. That's exactly how they made those scenes. They filmed the actors talk, walk and act in reverse, then showed the footage in reverse. Reverse + reverse = forward but weird.
By the way, I did finish Twin Peaks and also don't know who killed Laura, or whether reality is even real.
I never bothered to finish Twin Peaks but did find out who killed Laura back in the day, but I've long forgotten whodunit.
@@xzonia1 To be honest, I also found out at the time but forgot. The show was so weird and surreal, who the killer was would be the last thing I remember.
Totally agree about that Pink Floyd take, WYWH is a pretty awesome album cover!
When I was in college, the on-campus theater played wizard of oz synced with darkside of the moon. It was a blast.
Remembered a brilliant short film that'll blow your mind: Room 8. Won the BAFTA for short film in 2014.
PINK FLOYD THE WALL!....one of my favorite birthday gifts....
the plaque behind michael was rotating the whole time
You are SO correct on Wish You Were Here! It is wayyyy better than Dark Side
In Twin Peaks the actors actually had to speak backwards. The actor of the "dwarf" was fluent in doing it on the fly since he invented it in childhood as a secret language
From my life, I remember one coincidence from 20 years ago. End of vacation at my cabin, driving down from the mountain and onto the freeway to a 5 hour drive to my home. The car I went onto the freeway in front of I noticed, as it was the same type I was driving, and not that common in Norway. 5 hours later I turned onto my property and the other car was right behind me, honking as I went into my driveway. He had obviously also noticed we had driven half way across the country more or less together and ended up in the same neighbourhood at the same time. We had not seen each other all the way as lane usage and speed varied. We did not know each other, but obviously lived not far apart. It was fun we both noticed the coincidence 😊
I want to see that Spiderman sync up with Motorhead Killed By Death.
As a teen I went to an arts school to study music. One day when we had nothing better to do, our teacher decided to put on wizard of oz and pink floyd for us to see how well it lined up. And we joked about it being oooh spooky conspiracy oooh illuminati XD I think at the time we were also making an underscore for a play performed by the theater class, so it kinda made sense. Cos usually on a no classwork day he would split us into three groups and have us go make music then we'd all share our pieces at the end.. good times.
Sometimes when listening to music on shuffle, I like to predict the next song that's coming up. Not consciously but by having that song already play in my head before the song actually starts. Maybe it's because I already heard that transition from one song to the next and have gotten used to it so much that I expected it.
Gotta start dark side of the moon on the 2nd lions roar though at beginning of the movie.
The quote from Stephen King about everything in your house being replaced reminds me of Caprgras Syndrome, my most feared delusion
It’s a schizophrenic or neurological symptom where your brain fails to recognize the faces of those close to you, even though you can tell they are familiar enough. But something about them doesn’t match the feeling in your memory. And so you become filled with the dread that all of your loved ones are being replaced with copies, or creatures, or replica people
The idea of looking at a family member and believing they’re some kind of mannequin person because your memory recall is broken scares the *fuck* out of me. It would be like looking at photos of these creepy dolls, except they’re all people that you actually know
If you reverse *everything* then occasionally there will be instances where, quite by chance, the reversed words appear to have some related meaning. I'm pretty sure it just comes from our tendency to look for patterns in things.
Oh, and Pink Floyd syncs up with *everything* :)
Here's my strange coincidence story: I burned an audio CD for my car, and threw in as many of my favorite songs and artists that I had available. As it turned out, there was one song that had been done by two different artists, one by the Beatles and the other by Robert Palmer. When I played the CD it played the songs in the alphabetical order of song titles, so it played the two different versions of the same song, back to back. Even though I liked both versions of the song, over time, I grew a bit tired of hearing essentially the same song twice. Oddly enough, the name of the song was "Not a Second Time".
Melvyn Roberts was struck by lightning 11 times, so he says. His wife says she stays far away from him during a storm because someone has to call for emergency.
Armstrong was saying “Man is a Spaceball”.
I really like this video. In a world of so many infinite variables and possibilities, coincidences such as these seem almost impossible. When in fact it is because there is so much in the world that these coincidences become inevitable. Plus our own pattern seeking minds will always fill in the gaps.
At the end of Purple Rain by Prince there ARE hidden messages. Good messages. I heard it played backwards. He says something like "God is coming soon." And, he sings it as if it were a song in and of itself.
I learned the concepts of the law of large numbers from studying and playing poker. If not for the law of large numbers, the success of players would be subject to "variance", which are outcomes that diverge from expected probabilities. But, if you have a sample size large enough, and the cumulative odds are in your favor, then you should expect to see a favorable result that is close to the probabilistic outcome
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven - when Robert Plant begins singing about the Two Roads/Paths, stop it and play it in reverse @ 33rpm, he dedicates the song to "Satan". I was a Club DJ and used to do it all the time to freak ppl out.
He was a local here.....got stuck twice more...but never told anyone. Didn't want to deal with the press.
I find that DSOTM syncs better with Wizard of Oz if it's started when Dorothy lands in Oz.
No Protocol x VSauce - Great combo
Watching your video really gives me a smile on my face, cause your smile is so contatious :)
Please more vsauce!
I have had hundreds of coincidences, some are selective perception, but many that were way beyond any rational probability
When 'Lost' aired and introducded The Numbers...
They suggest a phrase sounds like this or that and then play it for you, so your brain is pre-conditioned to try and affirm their suggestion.
"Bob, I want all my garmonbozia." I had forgotten that. No sleep tonight for me
P.S. Subbed. You had me at "Wish You Were Here"
they also say tupac's albums had hidden messages of him foretelling his own passing.
My step mom got me to watch twin peaks and it was a good show but the cliff hanger at the end annoyed her for like 30 years until the the revival of the show came back though i havent seen the revival seasons of it.
Pink Floyd - Animals album.
Rarely mentioned, but it's one of my top favourites.
Did anyone else notice, that for a portion of the video, in the middle, the sign/picture on the wall behind him is upside down? Coincidence? ;)
The brain looks for familiarities in things
Lee Harvey Oswald reminds me of the video by Wendigoon on the conspiracy behind this even, would highly recommend that video and his channel in general.
As a life long Pink Floyd fan, I wholehearted agree with you with your fav album, Have a cigar is my overall fav track...
Also my favorite track!
@@NoProtocol Great minds think alike! ... Dave Gilmore on lead guitar and Roger waters on bass where always at artistic loggerheads and i think the melody in the song reflects the juxtaposition of the two band members with Nick mason the drummer acting as the elastic crazy glue keeping it all together. It goes to prove how timeless Floyd is, I am a 49 year old guy from the UK and we have come to the same conclusion.. We are a culture, a generation and a continent apart. Humanity is so cool.... Echos live in Pompei 1972 is a close second for me...
14:57 when he said hidden messages i was like i knew that picture behind you kept changing😅
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
I had a thought at 0100 this morning about why I always wake up to experience a reality I had left the night before. In other words the world is sequential. But , as V Sauce may say, 'Suppose that this is an Illusion'? And in fact everything is happening 'Out of Time'! Or That Time is An Illusion!
I like to sync Dark Side of the Moon to the 1978 Watershid Down movie. You have to play it twice with a bit of a pause between playings, but it goes along nicely.
Spotify's random (shuffle) is definitely sus. Frequently I add new songs to a playlist and the next time I shuffle play the playlist, the new songs come on first. This and my liked songs list is huge, spanning so many different genres, but it seems to get genre locked sometimes.
And speaking of spooky coincidences, there's a giant advert screen on the side of the road near my house and when I had to cancel my card due to theft it took a while and I had to pause my Spotify membership. I'd never seen a Spotify ad on that screen before, I walk past it almost every day, but during the time where my membership had lapsed, there was one. And I've never seen another since!
I had something happen to me similar to the Disneyland thing. I went to Legoland when I was very young and raced a car I built and it got tangled in another car. Years later, I went to middle and high school in another state and became best friends with the guy who built the other car.
next you should see how earth moves and messages for future from vsauce
I haven’t seen either of them yet, will write it down!
@@NoProtocol there are lots of great psychological videos and other videos of different genre. you might not want to react to all of those but you'll certainly enjoy learning from them. i remember when I found vsauce I watched all of their videos in a month
The Pink Floyd, Wizard of Oz thing was probably someone sitting, stoned out of their gourd, watching Wizard of Oz while their roommate was blasting Dark Side of the Moon is a nearby room.
That was my idea. Listening to dark side stoned and oz comes on tv with the volume down. I've had tv on mute while listening to something else and have had things sync up often
And sometimes a coincidence is simply not coincidental. Like the "repeating random playlist" can be not random at all for a reason. It may be manipulated for commercial reasons, which I can well imagine on streaming services.
But even if only your PC is envolved, it may fail to create real randomness. Randomness is much harder to create than one would expect. The way a computer works is the total opposite of randomness. So to achive randomness it requires rather complicated algorithms which use changing outside data as factors in the calculation, like time, date, and other variables.
I remember in the dark ages of PCs, the media player "WinAmp" had this "repeating randomness" problem. If you had a list of mp3s - no matter how many - plyed back with the random function, it would always play them in the same sequence. Even after starting with different tracks each time.
9:50 It was stoners/psychheads. Pretty sure we’ve known that one for a looong time 😂
that's a great point, wondering who found out the "albums played alongside movies" thing 😂reminds me of a line from Talladega Nights
"why do you want to listen to the TV with the stereo on?"
"....cus i like to party"
I remember learning about walter from a meme where the punchline was a picture of god saying: “fck that guy”
You need to read or watch the video about the two twins who were killed riding the exact same moped by the same taxi, driven by the same driver with the same passenger years apart.
The meaning of life
The engine of a film
The fine game of Nil
😂😂
A good book also related to the subject is The Doomsday Calculation by William Poundstone.
More VSauce please!
Agree with you on Wish You Were Here - their best album by far
The syncing thing makes me think of some of my favorite mash-up videos. Like Matilda and Rob Zombie. 😂
This was a good one!
Actually, Six Degrees of Separation is also an example of coincidence, patterns and large numbers (the idea that all people are six or fewer social connections away from each other.) For example: Within six contacts/friends of friends, I have connections to both Trump and Putin. They're not really people I'd ideally want to have connections to, and I'm British living in the UK, so the odds seem pretty low, but Six degrees of separation wins once again.
How many people in this comments channel know each other via other people? A lot I'm betting 🙂
Rock of ages does the reverse lyrics thing and it's and diss towards Russia during the crisis back then
No Protocol watching Vsauce.....there's an instant click.
Please more vsauce reactions!
why is it when i clicked the link for original video to the try and find the spiderman video i had the video preveously watched to where i paused it from here. I dont like this feeling
I think a bit of DMT had a lot to with Pink Floyd and The Wizard of Oz thing.
Oh I see you as someone who would Rock this "Words in Words " ;) I alwaysy thought those are (way) more fun like crosswords than numbers and Sudokous (not my forteé even though I keep on trying ocassionally).
Twin Peaks was fun :) I wonder if using the international phonetic alphabet would help forming that phonetic palindrome poem?
Why did he invert the “robot boy” picture?
Damn! A Twin Peaks mention.... I thought I'd never hear about that show again... I kinda know who killed Laura.... 😂
I thought this was about Vinny / Vinesauce and I got so excited lol
I guess my idea of something syncing up is different because from watching a video I see nothing in the combination of The Wizard of Oz and the music of Pink Floyd that relates to each other. I think it's just in people's imaginations.
Hmmm, the picture with the robot in the background has been rotating throughout the video.
Please more Vsauce! :)
More Vsauce please 🙏🙏
The best example of backwards music is “Another one bites the dust” which backwards is “it’s fun to smoke marijuana”
I'm partial to the Animals album myself. But both Wish You were here and Meddle are solidly at number 2.
More Vsauce. More Vsauce!😁
If you like movies about true stories check out a murderer in the family about the tison gang of 1978 it was released on TV in 1983 I think the marine family that was killed was from my squadron in Arizona and there's a newer release but I don't remember the name
Dark Side of the Rainbow
This was cool. For me, a weird one is the Birthday Paradox. Really weird. But math makes it so. Also, the odds of you shuffling a deck of cards in that order for the first time in the history of people, is actually pretty high. 1x2x3 and so on to 52 and the number you get is really, really big. Also, you so pretty :p K bai!
His picture in the background switches three times
Ok
May I recommend "Red Dead No Redemption" or "8 Million Species Of Aliens" by Exurb1a? The first one is about going to Mars (or rather staying there) and the second one is kinda about language. Generally I think Exurb1a's videos are really interesting.
if you take two variables in meteorological sense (temperature and pressure or humidity or windspeed et cetera), there is always another place on earth than your own, with the exact same combination.
?
YOU'RE RIGHT IT IS A STRETCH PROBABLY INSPIRED BY THE POWER ELITE.
If history isn't truly cyclical and it all just comes down to probabilities, then Strange Attractors may be at play.
I agree with you about Wish You Were Here. Animals trumps them both though
